Welcome to spring

Welcome to spring


I just wanted to share my love of flora, spring and bringing it indoors to admire.
I love the crisp air and bright sunshine that spring brings and even more I love the vibrant colours of yellow and orange that so many flowers have at this time of year.


I don't know the name of this beautiful yellow flowering bush I have in the garden, no doubt to the utter disgust of my big sister Angela!!
I wanted some flowers or a plant to cheer up the bottom of my stair case. I feel annoyed at the prices and lack of interesting flowers so many super markets have at the moment, so I hit the back garden for some inspiration and found it in the form of pretty yellow flowers.




There is something quite special about yellow flowers for my family and I guess that I am drawn to this colour without even realising it.
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do.

Easter felt chick finger puppets

Easter felt chick finger puppets

I wanted to do something cute for Easter and also Dylan has a thing for chicks and ducks at the moment, he's been poorly all day and I thought this might just cheer him up...it did!


You will need Yellow and Orange felt
Two small circles of black felt
Yellow or Orange thread
And a bit of patience



I didn't use a template I just cut these out
you need a front and back body in Yellow
Two claw feet and two triangles for the beak

 
Sew the front and back together missing out the bottom of the chick. Sew the feet on.


I decided half way threw that I would add a tuft of hair, feathers whatever you want to call it!!
Sew on the two pieces of the beak then the eyes.
I knotted the thread so that the eyes had big pupils.


There you have it a super cute chick to brighten up the day of any child...or adult for that matter!!
As I always say, go on have a go, you know you want to!
